Carneval 1894 Vintage postcard

this vintage artwork is by Hermann Vogel an artist who lived from 1854 to 1921 this is entitled Carneval from 1894 and has loads of interesting details. Here you have a young costumed female performer playing the bagpipes while a lounging Father Time looking a lot like an angel or even the Angel of Death enjoys the music and spectacle from the top of a tomb nearby. He has a scythe slung casually over his shoulder. At her feet a two children and a set of puppets such as Punch and Judy and two creepy clowns lighting a bomb, the one with a match stick in his teeth and the other sitting with the bomb between his legs. A crow picks at the puppets as the fuse burns down nearby. Up in the sky an assortment of demons and other fantastic characters are gathered around a big sphere labelled 1,000,000 which may be a bag of cash?
